Tweedsmuir Community History Books (or Tweedsmuirs as they are commonly known) uniquely capture and preserve local community history. They vary in form from a simple scrapbook to an elaborate series of volumes bound in leather, wood or a more formal blue-and-gold cover. Tweedsmuirs are comprised of a variety of information and often include a history of the: 

• Local Women's Institute Branch

• Earliest settlers in an area

• Agricultural practices and individual farms

• Industries that formed the basis of the local economy

• Social institutions and public buildings, such as churches, schools and community centers

• Local personalities, such as war veterans

• And much, much more!
